Memories & Macaroons

"Bye, see you tomorrow!" said a small group of girls, waving goodbye to the brown haired girl named Ib. All the girls were exiting the school building excitedly and looking forward to another weekend. Ib went to a upper-class all girls school and had only a few close friends. She wasn't really the social type. How could she be?

When she was just ten years old, she experienced truly horrific things, making her feel grateful for even being alive. But every time she remembers these terrible memories, they're not always bad. The only thing that made her feel warm during such dark times was Garry. Although her memory was hazy, she knew of the messy haired, strangely clothed yet kind young man who had helped all the entire way, and was even willing to give his own life to save her.

Ib walked down the street, looking up at the cherry blossom trees with pink petals tossed in the wind. Suddenly, her daydream was broken and she bumped into something, into someone. "Oh sorry I was-" Ib stammered, but looked up at the person she'd crashed into.

It was Garry.

At least he looked just like him. Ib was silent and so was the young man. They looked at each other with confused faces until he said, "Sorry, you look like someone I used to know." Ib was encouraged by his words and managed to ask him something.

"D-Does your name happen to be...Garry?" she said softly. The young man was silent but then smiled kindly.

"Ib...Is it really you?!" His voice became overly shocked and Ib laughed. He was just they was he remembered him to be.

"I can't believe it's you!"

"Neither can I! I mean, I can believe it's me, just, I can't believe it's you. It's just, you look so different."

"Well, I was ten when you last met me. I'm sure seeing me aged seventeen is rather strange."

"I didn't mean it like that...I meant that you're so beautiful now." He said shyly. Ib's cheeks blushed red like a tomato. She started thinking about how he was eighteen when she last saw him. He should be around twenty-five now. Wow.

"T-Thanks..."

"So, do you want to go and get something to eat?" Garry asked, his face tinting pink.

Ib smiled and replied, "Yes. Do you remember the macaroon shop?"

"Of course. How could I forget my promise, Miss Ib?" He grinned and Ib giggled at how he was acting like a gentleman. The two walked a short while, talking about how long it had been and how they'd been hoping to see each other for so long. Suddenly meeting Garry after bumping into him was slightly over whelming for Ib. She had so much she wanted to say to him, so much she wanted to talk about. She was sure Garry felt the same.

When they'd finally reached the shop, Ib was happy. Even though she didn't show it as a child, she was pretty excited to come here with Garry. She stared up at the banner saying, 'Cookies & Crunch'. The building was very new and looked a bit like an ice cream parlour filled with every kind of sweet in existence. Explains why Garry had lemon candy in his pocket before too.

The two entered the shop and the little door chime brought Ib back to reality. "So, how long have you been going to this place?" Ib asked.

"When I was like your age, some old classmates and I came here for fun. But the food was good, so I kept on coming here. Regular customer."

"Do have a secret to not getting fat?"

"Hmm. I guess I don't. I've never thought about it." He said. Ib laughed quietly and Garry ordered them a platter of macaroons. Ib never had macaroons before. Before she met Garry, it was because her parents didn't really give her many sweets. But after she was ten, she felt like it wasn't right to have some without Garry. After all, it would seem like forgetting about him or leaving him behind.

"Here are your French macaroons, Garry." said the waitress.

"Thanks, Em." Garry said as the waitress laid down the platter and walked away.

"You even know the workers' names?" Ib said, smiling with surprise.

"Yeah, maybe I come here too much, right? But it's worth it for the discounts. Try one." Garry said, pointing at one of the many macaroons. Ib stared at the colourful treats with a keen eye. She took out her phone and pointed it at the food.

"Aren't you going to eat one?" Garry said, laughing at how strange this was.

"Yeah, I need to take a picture and put it on Instagram." Ib said trying not to be cheesy, and her phone's camera clicked, making Garry laugh.

"Seriously?" He chuckled.

"Yes. It's not every day I get to eat macaroons, especially with someone I've been waiting to see again for seven years!" Ib put her phone away and looked at the delicious sweets and picked out a red one and gave Garry a blue one. "Like our roses from the art gallery."

"Thanks." he said, "I'm glad you remembered." Ib took a bite out of the red sugar biscuit and became wide-eyed with delight.

"These are so good. I think this is strawberry."

"I think mine's raspberry. I've always seen blue food to be raspberry flavoured. I have no idea why." The two picked up each picked lemon flavoured ones and continued eating.

"So where have you been all these years? When I first came back from the gallery, it was all I could think about."

"I was just living life I guess. I used to do a lot of art but, I think you can see why that stopped. And you?"

"Life's been okay. I go to a pretty good school and have some friends, but no one too close."

"Same here." He said. Garry phone beeped and he looked at a text message. "I have to go soon, sorry. Do you want to meet again tomorrow?"

"I'd love to. How about here again, after school? I look forward to meeting you again. So you'll be here?"

"I promise."


Short and sweet, I hope you liked it! I'll probably make a few more one shots in addition to this one. Make a whole collection of them, since Ib and Garry would make a cute couple (when Ib is 18, of course). I made they ages a few years closer. In being 10 when it all happened and Garry 18. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed! Make sure to favourite/follow and review so I know what you think!
